Those are pretty good. A couple of them look a bit overexposed, but overall they look good. The skills you learned doing (amazing) illustration seem to have transferred over to photography without a hitch.

I've just stepped up from a rather creatively limiting Nikon coolpix l330 to a D5300. What a bit of kit it is too. I used to have a fully manual film SLR when I was a kid, so I understand the fundamentals but this has so much more.

Quick question, at present I don't have the time to do much in depth photo editing so I don't see the point in saving my pics in Raw but is it worth while saving as large if I'm not going to be printing them?
